Illinois Conference of Seventh-day Adventists

We exist to grow healthy, disciple-making churches

Reach the cities

"For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost." Luke 19:10

Reach up!

"Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
his love endures forever." Psalm 107:1

Reach out!

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28: 19, 20

Reach children

" Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." Matthew 19:14

​Greetings! I am glad you have stopped by our website. Who are we? The Illinois Conference is home to almost 14,000 members of the Seventh-day Adventist church, living in Chicagoland and the state of Illinois. We, the Conference, exist to serve the needs of more than 120 churches, companies, and mission groups, as well as 11 schools around our territory. Our desire is for every member to grow into a fully mature follower (disciple) of Jesus, and for all of us to share the Good News that Jesus loves each one of us, that each person matters to God, and that He invites each to be in relationship with Him.

We also look forward with confident expectation to the return of Jesus, King of Kings and Lord of Lords. We believe in Jesus' words found in the Gospel of John, chapter 14, verse 3, that He will come back to take us to be with Him forever. What wonderful news!

May God bless each one of you. And, please remember, that no matter where you are in your journey with God, He loves you, and invites you to walk with HIm. May each one of us share this Good News with others, is my prayer, in Jesus name and for His sake.
